How We Work

Where else can you find this level of analysis?

We take a unique approach to patient care by focusing on the metabolic and immune systems and the interactions with the nervous system.

​We truly are in a category of one with respect to integrating the metabolic, immune, and nervous systems into a cohesive approach to health.

​If you are a candidate for care:

Your first visit will entail a detailed history and consultation session.​Your examination may include:

​Oxygen Saturation Monitoring

Blood pressure testing (positional and bilateral)

Physical examination

Cognitive evaluation

Sensory testing

Coordination assessment

Optokinetic analysis

Balance/Vestibular testing

​The laboratory testing we routinely recommend includes:

​A comprehensive blood panel (minimum of 52 markers)

Hair testing for heavy metals and minerals assessment

​Urinalysis with microscopic reflex

Some of the additional lab testing we may order, depending on your case:

Stool testing for occult blood​

Stool testing for parasites and/or leaky gut

Additional thyroid markers, antibodies, and/or immune panels

​All of this together gives us a good picture into the imbalances of your physiologic and neurologic systems.

We also work with patients through neurological rehabilitation.

This is a key area that makes Iowa Functional Health different from others and makes us one of the most cutting-edge and comprehensive clinics in Iowa!

Many other clinics, doctors and practitioners CANNOT do this service or simply do not offer it to patients because they don’t want to.

We perform a lot of neurological rehabilitation for people with neurological conditions such as Strokes, Stroke Rehab, Movement Disorders, Vertigo, Seizures and childhood disorders like Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, Autism, Asperger’s and more.

Our brain rehabilitation is done by improving brain function through exercises conducted in our office and those we prescribe for you to do at home. For those cases where neurological rehab is needed, when you become a patient in our practice, we will set up a rehab schedule with you for brain based rehab and therapy.
